Gabon is a one of the African countries that sit on the Equator, yet most of us barely know anything about this former colony of France. Today Gabon has one of the lowest population densities in the world, but that certainly doesn’t mean it’s not worth discovering.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Gabon.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. In 2014, Gabon became the first Central African nation to protect its threatened if abundant marine life. Nearly a quarter of its territorial sea is off limits to commercial fishing. The network of marine parks complemented an existing terrestrial protected area anchored by 13 national parks created in 2002.
2. The Gabonese capital, Libreville, got its name after the French navy captured a slave ship, named Elizia, in 1846.The 52 freed slaves were released and by 1849 had resettled near the French mission station on the site of Libreville, which translates as "Free town".
3. Prior to France's appropriation of today's Gabon, Bantu migrants, Portuguese explorers, alongside Dutch and English traders arrived and settled in the area between the 14th and 16th centuries. The Dutch, English and French soon settled in pre-colonial state known as Kingdom of Orungu. As a centre of the slave trade in the 18th century, the Gabonese coast became a departing point for the transatlantic slave trade at the end of the century.
4. The first president of Gabon, elected in 1961, was Léon M'ba. After M'ba's accession to power, civilian liberties were restricted. However, when M'ba dissolved the National Assembly in January 1964 to institute one-party rule, an army coup sought to oust him from power and restore parliamentary democracy. French paratroopers flew in within 24 hours to restore M'ba to power.
5. One of the most urbanized nations in mainland Africa, 87% of Gabon's population reside in urban areas, according to the UN's 2014 World Urbanization Prospects. While this striking figure is more than double the regional average (40%), National Geographic reports that an impressive 44% of Gabon's 1.38m population live in the capital, Libreville.
6. Hip-hop has been popular in the Central African region since the 1980s. Even current PresidentAli Bongo released an album and is known to appear on stage to perform among local rappers while on the campaign trail.
7. Abundant petroleum and foreign private investment have helped make Gabon one of the most prosperous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, because of inequality in income distribution, a significant proportion of the population remains poor.

Gospel music

Gospel music is a music genre in Christian music. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music varies according to culture and social context. Gospel music is composed and performed for many purposes, including aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, and as an entertainment product for the marketplace. Gospel music usually has dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) with Christian lyrics. Gospel music can be traced to the early 17th century, with roots in the black oral tradition. Hymns and sacred songs were repeated in a call and response fashion. Most of the churches relied on hand clapping and foot stomping as rhythmic accompaniment. Most of the singing was done a cappella. The first published use of the term ″Gospel Song" probably appeared in 1874. The original gospel songs were written and composed by authors such as George F. Root, Philip Bliss, Charles H. Gabriel, William Howard Doane, and Fanny Crosby. Gospel music publishing houses emerged. The advent of radio in the 1920s greatly increased the audience for gospel music. Following World War II, gospel music moved into major auditoriums, and gospel music concerts became quite elaborate.

Network of Electoral Democracy

Democratic Electoral Network (Red Electoral Democratico) is a political party in Aruba. At the last elections for the Estates, 23 September 2005, the party won 7% of the popular vote and 1 out of 21 seats.

Social media

Social media are computer-mediated tools that allow people or companies to create, share, or exchange information, career interests, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks. Social media is defined as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content." Furthermore, social media depend on mobile and web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. They introduce substantial and pervasive changes to communication between businesses, organizations, communities, and individuals. These changes are the focus of the emerging field of technoself studies.
Social media differ from traditional or industrial media in many ways, including quality,reach, frequency, usability, immediacy, and permanence. Social media operate in a dialogic transmission system (many sources to many receivers). This is in contrast to traditional media that operates under a monologic transmission model (one source to many receivers).

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Gabon.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. In 2014, Gabon became the first Central African nation to protect its threatened if abundant marine life. Nearly a quarter of its territorial sea is off limits to commercial fishing. The network of marine parks complemented an existing terrestrial protected area anchored by 13 national parks created in 2002.
2. The Gabonese capital, Libreville, got its name after the French navy captured a slave ship, named Elizia, in 1846.The 52 freed slaves were released and by 1849 had resettled near the French mission station on the site of Libreville, which translates as "Free town".
3. Prior to France's appropriation of today's Gabon, Bantu migrants, Portuguese explorers, alongside Dutch and English traders arrived and settled in the area between the 14th and 16th centuries. The Dutch, English and French soon settled in pre-colonial state known as Kingdom of Orungu. As a centre of the slave trade in the 18th century, the Gabonese coast became a departing point for the transatlantic slave trade at the end of the century.
4. The first president of Gabon, elected in 1961, was Léon M'ba. After M'ba's accession to power, civilian liberties were restricted. However, when M'ba dissolved the National Assembly in January 1964 to institute one-party rule, an army coup sought to oust him from power and restore parliamentary democracy. French paratroopers flew in within 24 hours to restore M'ba to power.
5. One of the most urbanized nations in mainland Africa, 87% of Gabon's population reside in urban areas, according to the UN's 2014 World Urbanization Prospects. While this striking figure is more than double the regional average (40%), National Geographic reports that an impressive 44% of Gabon's 1.38m population live in the capital, Libreville.
6. Hip-hop has been popular in the Central African region since the 1980s. Even current PresidentAli Bongo released an album and is known to appear on stage to perform among local rappers while on the campaign trail.
7. Abundant petroleum and foreign private investment have helped make Gabon one of the most prosperous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, because of inequality in income distribution, a significant proportion of the population remains poor.

Gospel music

Gospel music is a music genre in Christian music. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music varies according to culture and social context. Gospel music is composed and performed for many purposes, including aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, and as an entertainment product for the marketplace. Gospel music usually has dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) with Christian lyrics. Gospel music can be traced to the early 17th century, with roots in the black oral tradition. Hymns and sacred songs were repeated in a call and response fashion. Most of the churches relied on hand clapping and foot stomping as rhythmic accompaniment. Most of the singing was done a cappella. The first published use of the term ″Gospel Song" probably appeared in 1874. The original gospel songs were written and composed by authors such as George F. Root, Philip Bliss, Charles H. Gabriel, William Howard Doane, and Fanny Crosby. Gospel music publishing houses emerged. The advent of radio in the 1920s greatly increased the audience for gospel music. Following World War II, gospel music moved into major auditoriums, and gospel music concerts became quite elaborate.
